It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-21680 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21680/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21680/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21680","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21680/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21680","record":{"aliases":["AZL-56375","AZL-56406","BELL-CVE-2025-21680","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21680","GHSA-8qfw-mmqm-63gq","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21680"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel pktgen module, potentially causing a crash or arbitrary code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-129","name":"Improper Validation of Array Index"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\npktgen: Avoid out-of-bounds access in get_imix_entries\n\nPassing a sufficient amount of imix entries leads to invalid access to the\npkt_dev-\u003eimix_entries array because of the incorrect boundary check.\n\nUBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/core/pktgen.c:874:24\nindex 20 is out of range for type 'imix_pkt [20]'\nCPU: 2 PID: 1210 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.10.0-rc1 #121\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\ndump_stack_lvl lib/dump_stack.c:117\n__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds lib/ubsan.c:429\nget_imix_entries net/core/pktgen.c:874\npktgen_if_write net/core/pktgen.c:1063\npde_write fs/proc/inode.c:334\nproc_reg_write fs/proc/inode.c:346\nvfs_write fs/read_write.c:593\nksys_write fs/read_write.c:644\ndo_syscall_64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130\n\nFound by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.\n\n[ fp: allow to fill the array completely; minor changelog cleanup ]","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"pktgen: Avoid out-of-bounds access in get_imix_entries","id":"CVE-2025-21680","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"openvswitch: fix lockup on tx to unregistering netdev with carrier","id":"CVE-2025-21681"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"btrfs: add the missing error handling inside get_canonical_dev_path","id":"CVE-2025-21679"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-01-31","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel pktgen module, potentially causing a crash or arbitrary code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21680/"}
